On January 1, 2008, RDI acquired Houston-based Datanet Development Group. Datanet was founded by a former RDI employee, Julie Larson, who has operated a successful Houston business for 8 years. Julie focused on serving the oil field services industry and is well known for many advanced systems. Joining with RDI will provide additional resources and support to continue growing the business and supporting clients. Kimball Forrest will serve as the interim branch manager until a full time position is announced.

Datanet has earned a stellar reputation, so it is a perfect fit for RDI. Both companies are passionate about delivering high value to clients on a long term basis. According to Kimball, "I am very excited to have Julie and her team join RDI. On our past joint projects we had great success and we look forward to continuing that in the future."
